A 14-year-old boy and a 22-year-old woman were wounded in separate New York City shootings Sunday afternoon – all part of a bloody holiday weekend across the Big Apple.

The teen was shot in the left leg around 4:40 p.m. in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and was taken to Brookdale Hospital where he was listed in stable condition, according to police. The young victim was not cooperating with police.

Hours earlier on Staten Island, a woman, 22, was shot in the left leg at around 2:33 p.m. on Clove Road. The woman was an unintended target, law enforcement sources said. She was taken to Staten Island University Hospital in stable condition, police said.

As the victim walked to the bus stop, she was approached by a car and asked who she was walking with, sources said.

Before she said anything, they began to shoot at the man she was with, missing their target and hitting her instead, sources said.

No arrest has been made, but police are looking into whether it’s gang-related, sources said.

Neighbors told the Staten Island Advance the area where the shooting happened is usually peaceful.

“This is usually a really good block,” a neighbor said. “We even live across from the cemetery, it can’t get any more quieter than that.”

The pair of Sunday afternoon shootings are part of a weekend of gun violence that rocked Gotham.

A 25-year-old man was shot and killed and a 20-year-old woman was shot and wounded outside their Queens home Saturday, police said.

Family members of the Chevaughn Millings, who was pronounced dead at the hospital, alleged that the victim’s uncle pulled the trigger.

No arrest was reported so far Sunday after the suspect fled from the shooting.
